As a beneficiary of Te Mana o Ngāti Rangitihi Trust, you can apply for funding from the Te Mana o Ngāti Rangitihi Charitable Trust. In order to be considered, grant applications will be required to meet the charitable guidelines and criteria, and contribute to the strategic priorities for Te Mana o Ngāti Rangitihi Trust.

Te Mana o Ngāti Rangitihi would like to advise that all grant applications for 2022 will close on Friday 21 October 2022.

What grants are available?

 

The Charitable Trust allocates funding for charitable purposes in four categories:

  • Community: Grants supporting programmes or events that focus on community participation and impactful engagement in the community. Applicants funded within this category will receive a one-off contribution for an event servicing the Ngāti Rangitihi community. 2023 Applications: Open year-round and considered bi-monthly.
  • Kaumātua: A grant aimed at maintaining or improving the health and well-being of our kaumātua. 2023 Applications: Close 27 October 2023.
  • Sports: Grants recognising excellent participation and achievement in sports, by any Ngāti Rangitihi person or group. 2023 Applications: Open year-round and considered bi-monthly.
  • Tertiary education: Grants for the successful completion of an academic year to recognise achievement and perseverance in education. You may only apply for one grant per year. 2023 Applications: Grant rounds will open on 1 September 2023, closing on 23 September 2023.  Any tertiary applications that are received by us that don’t have the academic results attached due to the member not having received them yet, will be considered and if successful, the putea will be released once we have received the results.

We have also signed a Partnership Agreement with Victoria University, where they will match the amount we grant their students.
